Wedding hog roast in Teynham, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Whether it is marquee weddings and wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken and more.
For a smaller place like Teynham, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a level spot and access. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

- Menu choices and extras

In Teynham, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
